Shoal Sisters

Summary:

Private Wooded Oak Island Home



The Space:

Accepts Short Stays.



3 Bedroom / 2 Bathroom / Sleeps 6



Our sweet beach cottage is tucked among some of the prettiest mature woodlands on the island. Nestled between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Beach, Shoal Sisters is a perfect choice for a vacation that is not battered by ocean winds and sand, but quietly perched in a family neighborhood. A two-minute drive (or one-mile walk) will have you at the oceanfront in a flash.  If you prefer to walk, we are just a few blocks from the beach walkover and the Oak Island Recreation Center! Our neighborhood is a jogger and dog walker’s dream: the well-marked walkway at SE 31st Street provides a town kayak launch for the Davis Canal and a great view of the center of the island, not accessible by car. This is our favorite area to catch a great sunrise/sunset around the marshlands and to check out a lot of waterbirds. There is a secondary walking path at SE 20th, so there is potential for a longer loop for the runners in your group!  Lush landscaping and a wonderful backyard make this a private coastal retreat. Roast s'mores in an outdoor fire, walk your furry friend down the friendly street, or cozy up inside our open living space. With an oversized primary bedroom suite and two large, comfy bedrooms sharing their bath, you will have plenty of sleep time privacy. One-story living with only a few steps to the front porch, Shoal Sisters is perfect for travelers who need to avoid stairs.

Things To Do:

Oak Island is known for its golden sand beaches, calming blue waters, friendly community, and proximity to the cities of Southport, Wilmington, and Myrtle Beach. There are many cute island coffee shops, stores, breweries, and a park that showcases a splash pad for summer fun! With a beautiful Golf Club open to summer travelers and over 100 public water access points, there is an abundance of all things adventurous to do on Oak Island! 



If you'd like to keep your fitness routine going while on vacation, you can get an out-of-town Gym pass at Oak Island Recreation Center. Utilize the Rec Center's ample parking, put in at the Kayak ramp, and spend hours kayaking our beautiful marshes.  Sit on the lawn and enjoy a night off cooking at our Weekly Friday night "Summer Concert In The Park" with a couple of local food truck options at this family-centric Live Music event. Beach Day takes place in Oak Island on the Friday before July 4th and features all-day activities followed by fireworks on the island that evening.



Visit Historic Southport, a seafaring town just five miles from our island, for a bigger nightlife. Southport, at the confluence of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean, features a variety of different restaurants, bars, live music and shopping. It is one of our favorite places to walk around and check out different food and live music on the weekends. There are free parking options all over town, and you can easily walk to dozens of places while enjoying the breeze from the riverfront and admiring historic homes and general store buildings that date back to the early 1800s. Southport's State Fourth of July Festival is a three-day street fair with artists from all over the state, vendors, and food. It is truly like being in an Andy Griffith episode with the parade and grand finale fireworks show over the riverfront in Southport.

We look forward to your visit!
